And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."

We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!

There came to you Moses with clear (Signs); yet ye worshipped the calf (Even) after that, and ye did behave wrongfully.

We have sent down to thee Manifest Signs (ayat); and none reject them but those who are perverse.

They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!

Allah had helped you at Badr, when ye were a contemptible little force; then fear Allah; thus May ye show your gratitude.

Ye did indeed wish for death before ye met him: Now ye have seen him with your own eyes, (And ye flinch!)

Allah did indeed fulfil His promise to you when ye with His permission Were about to annihilate your enemy,-until ye flinched and fell to disputing about the order, and disobeyed it after He brought you in sight (of the booty) which ye covet. Among you are some that hanker after this world and some that desire the Hereafter. Then did He divert you from your foes in order to test you but He forgave you: For Allah is full of grace to those who believe.

Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts Met,-it was Satan who caused them to fail, because of some (evil) they had done. But Allah Has blotted out (their fault): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

To Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth. Verily we have directed the People of the Book before you, and you (o Muslims) to fear Allah. But if ye deny Him, lo! unto Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth, and Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.

Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers.

Before thee We sent (messengers) to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they might learn humility.

"And behold! ye come to us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: ye have left behind you all (the favours) which We bestowed on you: We see not with you your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in your affairs: so now all relations between you have been cut off, and your (pet) fancies have left you in the lurch!"

It is We Who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided you therein with means for the fulfilment of your life: small are the thanks that ye give!

It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis; He refused to be of those who prostrate.

For We had certainly sent unto them a Book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail,- a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: There came indeed to them their messengers with clear (signs): But they would not believe what they had rejected before. Thus doth Allah seal up the hearts of those who reject faith.

We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops; that they might receive admonition.

Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).

They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: They shall have none on earth to protect or help them.

Generations before you We destroyed when they did wrong: their messengers came to them with clear-signs, but they would not believe! thus do We requite those who sin!

We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment.

We sent Noah to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning:

There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.

And we sent Moses, with Our Clear (Signs) and an authority manifest,

We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: had it not been that a word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them, but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it.

你们确已认识你们中有些人，在安息日超越法度，故我对他们说：“你们变成卑贱的猿猴吧。”

我确已把经典赏赐穆萨，并在他之後继续派遣许多使者，我把许多明证赏赐给麦尔彦之子尔撒，并以玄灵扶助他。难道每逢使者把你们的私心所不喜爱的东西带来给你们的时候，你们总是妄自尊大吗？一部分使者，被你们加以否认；一部分使者，被你们加以杀害。

穆萨确已昭示你们许多明证，他离开你们之後，你们却认犊为神，你们是不义的。

我确已降示你许多明显的迹象，只有罪人不信它。

他们遵随众恶魔对於素莱曼的国权所宣读的诬蔑言论──素莱曼没有叛道，众恶魔却叛道了──他们教人魔术，并将巴比伦的两个天神哈鲁特和马鲁特所得的魔术教人。他们俩在教授任何人之前，必说：“我们只是试验，故你不可叛道。”他们就从他们俩学了可以离间夫妻的魔术，但不得真主的许可，他们绝不能用魔术伤害任何人。他们学了对自己有害而无益的东西。他们确已知道谁购取魔术，谁在後世绝无福分。他们只以此出卖自己，这代价真恶劣！假若他们知道，（必不肯学）。

白德尔之役，你们是无势力的，而真主确已援助了你们。故你们应当敬畏真主，以便你们感谢。

遭遇死亡之前，你们确已希望死亡；现在你们确已亲眼见到死亡了。

你们奉真主的命令而歼灭敌军之初，真主确已对你们实践他的约言；直到了在他使你们看见你们所喜爱的战利品之后，你们竟示弱、内争、违抗（使者的）命令。你们中有贪恋今世的，有企图后世的。嗣后，他使你们离开敌人，以便他试验你们。他确已饶恕你们。真主对于信士是有恩惠的。

两军交战之日，你们中败北的人，只因他们犯过，故恶魔使他们失足；真主确已恕饶他们。真主确是至赦的，确是至容的。

天地万物，只是真主的。我确已嘱咐在你们之前曾受天经的人， 也嘱咐你们说：“你们当敬畏真主。”如果你们孤恩，那末，你们须知天地万物只是真主的，真主是无求的，是可颂的。

真主与以色列的后裔确已缔约，并从他们中派出十二个首领。真主说：“我确与你们同在。如果你们谨守拜功，完纳天课，确信我的众使者，并协助他们，并以善债借给真主，我必勾销你们的罪恶，我必让你们进入下临诸河的乐园。此后，谁不信道，谁已迷失了正路。”

因此，我对以色列的后裔以此为定制：除因复仇或平乱外，凡枉杀一人的，如杀众人；凡救活一人的，如救活众人。我的众使者。确已昭示他们许多迹象。此后，他们中许多人，在地方上确是过分的。

在你之前，有许多使者，确已被人否认，但他们忍受他人的否认和迫害，直到我的援助降临他们。真主的约言，不是任何人所能变更的。众使者的消息，有一部分确已降临你了。

在你之前，有许多使者，确已被人否认，但他们忍受他人的否认和迫害，直到我的援助降临他们。真主的约言，不是任何人所能变更的。众使者的消息，有一部分确已降临你了。

在你之前，我确已派遣（许多使者）去教化各民族，（他们否认使者的使命），故我以穷困和患难惩治他们，以便他们谦逊。

你们确已孤孤单单地来见我，犹如我初次创造你们的时候一样。你们把我所赏赐你们的，抛弃在背后，你们妄称为真主的伙伴的，我不见他们同你们一道来替你们说情；你们的关系，确已断绝；你们所妄言的事，确已回避你们了。

我确已使你们在大地上安居，并为你们在大地上设生活所需。你们很少感谢。

我确已创造你们，然后使你们成形，然后对众天神说：“你们向阿丹叩头。”他们就向他叩头，唯独易卜劣厮没有叩头。

我曾昭示他们一部我据真知而加以解释的经典，作为对信道的民众的向导和慈恩。

这些城市，我已把它们的部分故事告诉了你。各民族的使者，确已用许多明证昭示本族的人；但他们不会相信自己以前所否认的。真主就这样封闭不信道者的心。

我确已用荒年和歉收去惩治法老的臣民，以便他们觉悟。

我确已为火狱而创造了许多精灵和人类，他们有心却不用去思维，他们有眼却不用去观察，他们有耳却不用去听闻。这等人好像牲畜一样，甚至比牲畜还要迷误。这等人是疏忽的。

他们以真主盟誓，说他们没说什么，其实，他们确已说过不信道的话，而且他们在表示信奉伊斯兰教之后，又不信了，他们确已图谋不轨，但未得逞。他们非难，只因真主及其使者以其恩惠使他们富足。如果他们悔过，那对他们是更有益的；如果他们背弃，真主就要在今世和后世使他们遭受痛苦的刑罚，他们在大地上没有任何保护者，也没有任何援助者。

在你们之前曾有许多世代，他们族中的使者既昭示了他们许多明证，而他们仍行不义，不肯信道，我就毁灭了他们，我这样报应犯罪的民众。

我确已使以色列人居住在一个安定的地方，并以佳美的食物供给他们。他们的意见没有分歧，直到那种知识降临他们。复活日，你的主必将判决他们所争论的是非。

我确已派遣努哈去教化他的宗族说：“我对你们确是一个坦率的警告者。

我的众使者确已带著喜讯降临易卜拉欣，他们说：“祝你平安！”他说：“祝你们平安。”他很快就拿来一只烤犊来。

我确已派遣穆萨带著我的许多迹象和明证去

我确已把经典赏赐穆萨，但人们对那部经典有分歧；假若没有一句话从你的主预先发出，他们必受裁判。他们对于它确是在使人不安的怀疑之中。
